Nine 1/2 WeeksHow to follow up Flashdance? Stick Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger under the covers, or on the kitchen floor, for that matter, and point the camera for two hours.

PlotA financial executive, John (Rourke), and an art gallery assistant, Elizabeth (Basinger), try to fill up their empty existences with a crash course in sex with an utter stranger.
